The San Francisco Dungeon has frightened its last tourist.
The spooky attraction, which began drawing visitors to its Fisherman’s Wharf location in 2014, has announced on its website that it’s closing its doors for good. “Like the Gold Rush of 1849 and a saloon brawl, all good things come to an end! The San Francisco Dungeon has told its last tales and is now permanently closed,” reads a statement onThe Dungeon was a popular draw for tourists and local thrill seekers for years, offering up several different spooky/unsettling sights that all drew from San Francisco Bay Area history at its location on Jefferson Street.
The attractions reportedly included the Lost Mines of Sutter’s Mill, where visitors searched for gold in a maze-like structure; the Court of San Francisco, where people were interrogated by former mayor/judge “Mad Meade”; Shanghai Kelly’s Boat Ride, which told of the lives of those who were sold to work as sailors; and the Ghosts of Alcatraz, which was a re-creation of the 19th-century Alcatraz military prison.
